March 9, 2012 By

The PR people for Agate Publishing sent me a copy of Baking Basics and Beyond: Learn These Simple Techniques and Bake Like a Pro.

When I first read about the book I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I was really impressed when I received it.

I loved that there were recipes as well as tips throughout.  I like to consider myself a pretty educated baker, but I learned a lot from the book.

I bookmarked pretty much every page, but I was set on making the cinnamon raisin swirl bread first.

I’m more of a quick bread kind of girl (a.k.a. I have no patience) but I always feel super proud of myself after I make “real” bread.

I mean, look how beautiful this bread is…

You can get the book for 11 bucks and get this recipe and a bunch of others, plus some great baking tips.

Top this bread with some Biscoff Spread…. oh maannn, it’s like heaven in your mouth.

    That bread has some SERIOUS fluff factor going on. I honestly can’t stop staring/drooling!

    Katie, I love your new site design! I’m sad though because my feed reader didn’t show that you had any new posts so I’ve missed out reading for a month now :( Still not sure why it hasn’t updated… Well, your recipes look great as always!

      Thank you, Courtney! That IS sad… thank you for telling me, I need to get that figured out. I think there’s a glitch, so you might have to re-subscribe.

    What a fabulous bread, Katie – it turned out perfect! I could so sink my teeth into a piece of this for breakfast. I bet it would make for amazing French toast, too!

      Thanks, Georgia! I didn’t even think of french toast… that’s such a good idea!
